PLOT
It was Lachlan Morton’s greatest feat of endurance yet. Last September, Lachy set a new Around Australia Record, riding 14,200-kilometers around his home country in just 30 days, nine hours, and 59 minutes. That’s more than 460 kilometers per day, every day, for a month. Lachy’s brother Gus was there with him for the ride, filming all of his pre-dawn starts, the lonely time trials down outback highways, headwinds, tailwinds, gas station meals, and all of the people who Lachlan met along the way. The Great Southern Country, our film about Lachlan's Around Australia Record, presented by Cannondale and POC, is a story of endurance, how great challenges bring people together. And it is a story about Australia in all of its rugged beauty.
